A 'dead zone' off the Gulf coast is larger than NOAA predicted. The massive area poses danger to marine life, and recovery could take decades.

A so-called "dead zone" the size of Connecticut is set to wreak havoc in the Gulf of Mexico this summer, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has forecast.

There’s a massive area in the Gulf of Mexico that’s so low in oxygen, aquatic life can’t survive there. Many say it’s mainly from excessive fertilizer that runs off from Midwestern farms.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is predicting the dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico will be 5% larger than average this summer.

Scientists have released their 2023 forecast for the so-called "dead zone" in the Gulf of Mexico — predicting it will be about 4,100 square miles this summer.

An area of low oxygen in the Gulf of Mexico that forms every summer is roughly the size of New Jersey this year, researchers at LSU found.

NOAA-supported scientists announced today that this year’s Gulf of Mexico “dead zone” — an area of low to no oxygen that can kill fish and marine life — is approximately 6,705 square ...

The Gulf of Mexico's "dead zone" is the 12th largest on record this year, according to a Thursday report from NOAA-supported scientists. It's roughly 6,705 square miles this year, larger than ...
